Upgrading to iOS 7 Here’s What You Need to Know

Apple’s iOS 7, which is ushering in a completely redesigned mobile future to the Cupertino company’s ecosystem, will be released in less than 24 hours. Meaning? You better back your device up now, because once you hit that update button there may be no going back. Big new releases always carry bugs and other issues, so it’s important you air on the side of caution before jumping in head first.
Tomorrow is bigger than just another software update; iOS 7 promises to be a huge step toward redefining Apple’s platform, which up until now has been dogged by Scott Forstall’s affection for skeuomorphism. Gone are the leather-bound calendars and felt covered game centers. With Jony Ive now in charge, iOS is becoming deeper and more complex, yet familiar. We’ve been using the Gold Master since it was released last week, and have absolutely no complaints thus far.
When iOS 7 does get pushed out tomorrow, and assuming you’ve backed your device up, there will be plenty of compatibility to contend with. If you bought a new device in the past few years, you’re fine, you’ll have no issues. But anything before the iPhone 4, and anything except the latest iPod touch, you’re unfortunately out of luck. Just because you do have a compatible device, however, doesn’t mean you’ll get every single feature iOS 7 has to offer. In fact, there’s a pretty lengthy list of features that are only available on certain devices.
For example, Filters in Camera (live view) are available for the iPhone 5 or later, and the iPod touch (5th generation), whereas Filters in Photos will be available on the iPhone 4 and up, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini and iPod touch (5th generation). Additionally, AirDrop, one of Apple’s bigger features to iOS 7, will only be supported by the iPhone 5 and later, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini and iPad touch (5th generation).
There are a few other compatibility discrepancies included in Apple’s fine print, so you’ll want to familiarize yourself before updating tomorrow. Of course, you’ll want to make sure all your apps are up to date as well before you journey into iOS 7 water—many apps have already issued iOS 7 compatibility well ahead of the software’s arrival. Once iOS 7 is officially pushed out, we’ll be sure to let you guys know. Are you going to update on the first day?

The 6 Best iPad Games for Kids

From managing appointments, handling office documents, brainstorming ideas, providing quality entertainment and connectivity, to occupying something as pesky as your kids irksome behavior, Apple iPad covers it all. The scenario gets even better with abundant apps that are developed meticulously to accentuate iPad’s intrinsic capabilities.

There are many iPad games for kids designed to keep these perturbing little creatures busy whenever you need to run some errands or solemn commutes. Some of these games even help to develop cognitive faculties of your growing kids while others just keep them immensely occupied and entertained. Considering all these factors we have compiled a comprehensive list of 6 Best iPad Games for Kids.

Angry Birds Space HD - LINK

Whether they understand it or not, kids always seem to like this one. Partly because of the simplicity and partly because of funny angry bird chirping. Angry Birds Space HD is particularly good for kids with its heightened NASA collaborated physics integration and information about NASA vehicles and Mars exploration missions. In addition to all that geeky scientific touch, the game is freakishly addictive for both kids and adults alike.

If you fancy teaching basic stuff to your pre-school children, this app does it sufficiently plus it also keeps your kids entertained while at it. Study material like full-fledged Alphabets with proper pronunciations, numbers with right counting methods, words with meanings and sounds, shapes, animals, music and a lot more is layered with jolly gameplay to make the learning process more active, memorable and fun.

Sago Mini DoodleCast – LINK

In case you observe a spark of creativity in your kids, you can analyze and provide a testing ground for their instincts with this app.  The idea is pretty basic; the game helps scribble images and characters along a storyline with embedded voice recording to put your kid’s brain to work while simultaneously enjoying the whole process. It is ideal for kids between the age of 2-6 and allows the drawings and stories to be shared with friends and families.

Toca Hair Saloon 2 – LINK

Except a few pre-determined quirky characters there are no limits in this creative fun game. Kids get to cut and color hair into versatile hairstyles, which is both creative and addictive. There are various tools ranging from simple comb and scissors to a curling iron and a straightener that can all be used to give the new characters looks they deserve.

Pictureka - LINK

For a change, this is a game that is quite educational without being sold as a “learning” game. It runs on basic find-the-hidden object concept but with an educational twist. Players have to tap the objects depending on the governing theme that eventually builds up to entertainment with education. Themes like musical instruments, kitchen utensils and various other daily objects explain the gist of this game.

Cut the Rope – LINK

How to get complete antivirus protection for FREE

If your computer is connected to the Internet and/or you use flash drives, external hard drives or memory cards between different computers then an antivirus, anti-spyware or Internet security software package is a must.

Now, as you may already be aware of, most (definitely not all) of the major players in malware protection have a free version of their software which is readily available for downloading from their various websites, but here’s the things – these free packages are limited in their protection and as a result of not being as complete or robust as the full/paid versions, they are unable to fully protect you and your precious data.  I must admit that the free versions are much better than having no protection at all, there is a much better legal, no-hacking-or-piracy-involved method of getting complete protection for FREE.  How you ask?  Well, keep reading.

Most of the software companies that offer protection software will allow you to try their software for a period of time (in most case 30 days).  This trial version of their software tend to be the complete package (almost the same thing you’d get if you were a paying customer less customer support and one or two features) since it is all about them trying to impress you enough to have you pay for the package – it just comes with a trial stamp and a “days limit”.  As far as I am concerned the trail versions are much better than the free versions, but that might be debatable.

Here’s the loophole – With the amount of very good protection packages that are currently on the market, you can have year round complete protection without spending a dime or breaking any laws (software piracy).  You simply try one software package and when the trial period has expired you move on to another.  There is just one tiny detail to tend to – you need to completely uninstall the trial software from you machine using the official uninstaller, not the uninstall option that is available after you would have installed the program.  This is key if you plan on using that particular software package for another go around.

Here are links to all the major antivirus software packages uninstallers (Link1, Link2,Link3, Link 4).  And here are my top 9 choices of protection software packages (not in any particular order):

1. Kaspersky
2. Eset
3. AVG
4. Avast
5. Bitdefender
6. FSecure
7. Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus+
8. Avira
9. McAfee

If your laptop is getting hot you should most definitely be concerned. Get the facts and empower yourself...

The issue of overheating laptops (Part 1)

A while back a good friend of mine brought his laptop for me to check for him. “It needs a good cleaning up” he said.  So I turned on the computer and had him login so that he could show me what made him conclude that his machine needed a “good cleaning up.”

I do not want to exaggerate here, but the laptop could not have been on for more than about five minutes when I realized that it had gotten very hot.  I’m not talking about normal operational heat – the laptop was overheating.  I was somewhat taken aback by his failure to identify this particular occurrence as a problem, so I asked him if the machine “normally” got that hot or if it was the first time this had happened.  He then informed me that “it used to work okay when it was new, but I started noticing it warming up in the last couple months.”

Now, in case you are not aware, there is nothing normal about a computer overheating.  If it was overheating from when it was brand new, then it would have been safe to say that either he bought a faulty device or that the problem was as a result of the laptop being poorly designed/built on the manufacturers end (insufficient vents, or poorly designed vents, crappy fan etc.). But the fact that the problem started long after he would have bought the machine (over two years later) meant that there were other forces at play apart from the two mentioned above.

While it is natural for a device to get a bit warm when in use, it should NEVER get hot.  And I know you may be saying that what is hot for one person can be considered warm for another and you’d be correct (to a certain extent).  But hair-splitting aside, I think most persons with a little something between their ears will know when a device is hot as opposed to it being warm.

For this article I will be focusing on laptop computers, but that does not mean that desktop computers do not overheat as well.  It’s just that laptops are (unfortunately) more prone to overheating than desktops.

So what causes a computer to overheat (apart from the manufacturer messing up)?

1. Blocked air vents – This can be due to a build up of dust and other lint-like particles OR as a result of the user using the laptop on a surface which does not allow the air to flow as it should such as on a mattress, carpet, pillow etc..
2. Dirty fans – A build up of dust on the fan blades will decrease the fan’s effectiveness and can even lead to the fan failing long before it should.
3. Failing/Faulty fans – As with everything, wear and tear will eventually take a toll on the fans and they will need to be replaced.  A failing fan often becomes noisy and would cease to spin as fast as it should.
4. Overclocking – If you increase the speed of your processor, you should also consider getting a “better” fan to handle the additional heat that will be generated.
5. Overloading – Giving the computer more tasks to do than is necessary can result in the processor having to work harder.  If the cooling system is already compromised (dirty fans, blocked vents etc.) then this can lead to overheating.
6. A dying battery – As battery cells degrade/die over time they tend to get hotter than normal during the charging process which can in turn lead to the laptop overheating.

While there are other factors which can contribute to the problem of overheating, the six mentioned above are at the top of the list.

I guess the question now is, “how do I fix the problem or avoid it from occurring if it hasn’t already?”  Well, the answer will be covered in a subsequent article.
